Very different in appearance from the bobwhite 

 group are the striking quails of the western and south- 

 western portions of the United States. Of these birds 

 there are almost a dozen forms, some of them plumed, 

 others helmeted, others with full, soft crests, but all 

 very unlike the bobwhites. These are among the most 

 beautiful of North American birds, and in many of 

 the regions which they inhabit are extremely abundant.
